Adoption

"God sets the lonely in families…" – Psalm 68:6 (NIV)

Currently, more than 107,000 children are available for adoption in the United States with more than 6,800 children available for adoption in Texas, many who have been abandoned or removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. Buckner is dedicated to recruiting and approving loving, qualified adoptive homes to help children achieve permanency through our various adoption ministries.

Waiting Texas Children: Provide permanent homes for children in foster care whose parents’ rights have been terminated and are available for adoption through Child Protective Services. Many of these children awaiting adoption are older children and teenagers or in a sibling group. If they are never adopted, children anywhere between ages 18 and 21 will “age out” of the system with limited or no support or care.

Foster-to-adopt: Provide permanent homes for children who, after residing in your foster care, become available for adoption. Buckner is both a licensed Texas foster care provider (partially funded by Texas Department of Family and Protective Services) and a licensed adoption agency, so our foster-to-adopt services offer you the possibility to adopt from foster care should adoption become part of the child’s plan.

Voluntary adoption program: We provide permanent homes for infants or children whose birth parents have made a voluntary plan of open adoption and want to maintain a relationship with the adoptive family. Families who are interested in Buckner’s voluntary adoption program must also be open to providing a home for a child in need through another ministry within the Buckner Domestic Adoption Program, either foster-to-adopt or Waiting Texas Children.
